Quietly you left, without a word or note,
or even a phone call as you have promised.
Frantic.
Worried.
Weak and helpless.
My fingers trembled as I dialled those familiar numbers.
How, how, how could you?
Heartlessly refused me and left me hanging on the dial tone,
til it went dead.
Silent. And it echoes, relentlessly in my frail heart.
Again and again, undetered, I pressed with all my might that it would connect.
To you, longing to hear that comforting voice.
And yet, the cruel truth awaited me.
I knew. But I couldn't. And I wouldn't.
Still I did.
It still haunts me deep down inside.
Sometimes I imagine you standing there and I try to run,
But you turned into thin air, nothing.
So many thoughts left unspoken, wishes unfulfilled and hearts broken.
Not even a last goodbye.
You taught me to be strong. You taught me love. You taught me the song of life.
Why did you have to go so far away?
I never knew how hard it was to lose someone you love,
until the day you went to heaven above.
I miss you so much and all I can do is pray.
In my heart you shall forever remain.
Remember when the sun shined so bright,you were here and you loved me just like a child.
Now the good lord has taken you away, but in my heart you will forever stay just like a sweet song in my heart.
I didn’t think I could go on, but your love assured me and I knew I had to.
God took a look around his garden and found an empty place.
He took a look upon the earth and saw your tired face.
He put his arm around you and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful for he only picks the best.
God knew that you were tired and a cure was not to be so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered come to me.
I miss you so much 老师!
